The present study investigated collocation patterns of frequently-used 22 onomatopoeias and verbs, taken from Korean corpus and 40 native Korean speakers. Using the indexes of entropy and redundancy, type and token frequencies of collocational appearances of each onomatopoeia and its multiple verb combinations were calculated using the Sejong corpus (http://www.sejong.or.kr) and verbs recalled by the native Korean speakers. A significant difference was found in neither entropies nor redundancies between corpus frequencies and recall frequencies. This result suggests that collocation patterns obtained by corpus data must reflect those recalled by native Korean speakers. The cluster analysis over entropies and redundancies of the 22 onomatopoeias showed three clusters, (1) onomatopoeias with mild restriction of verb-collocation (various verbs co-occurring with these onomatopoeias), (2) those with semi-mild restrictions, and (3) those with severe restriction (regularly cooccurring with a few verbs). The present study depicted a wide range of collocation patterns of the 22 onomatopoeias and verbs.
